Tentative Schedule




Northeast Coast Trip on Roadtrippers

Tentative Trip Details

Departure Date: 7/18
Return Date: 8/2 (ish)


All areas subject to change based on temperaments and finances, and whether or not we can get in/out of Canada on just birth certificates for the kids... I've heard it both ways.

We did decide to skip NYC this year, and the kids have expressed more interest in a beach tour, which needed no arm twisting from me. Some anticipated highlights are:
Warped Tour in Cincinnati
Possibly white-water rafting in WV (I owe them one from last year, but still looking into this)
Smithsonian Natural History Museum
Game at Fenway
Bottling our own soda in New Hampshire
Acadia NP in Maine
Zip-line through Niagara Falls

We are also looking forward to some great coastal dining, waterfalls, ruins, lighthouses, and beach time.

Hopefully we can make all of it happen!

So far, there are no reservations, but I'm hoping to have a little bit more of a schedule than last year. Maybe. Blogger dropped their phone app, so my ability to post daily will rely solely on my accessibility to the interwebs.

I have never been to this part of the country, so it will be brand new for all of us! 😬
Adventure is out there! 🎈

Day 2

Image
“If we were meant to stay in one place, we’d have roots instead of feet.” Nobody wanted to wake up this morning, myself included. And after seeing the free breakfast options, we may as well have just slept through it. The twins liked the waffles, but I could have done without the omelette in a bag, yes, a plastic ziplock bag that you microwaved. 🤢 Usually Days Inn has a better selection. Today was not that day.  Unfortunately today was pretty boring- mostly driving. We did stop in Indianapolis to see the capital building: We arrived at the lake house pretty late, and the little cousins were in bed. BUT- we had a HUGE surprise waiting for us!  And I can’t share the surprise yet! Recap: $100- mostly gas 568 miles Today’s lessons: 1: My car is silent. Well, the kids are silent. I’m having my own karaoke session. Maybe that’s why they all have headphones on? 🤔 2: Google Maps will ping you in the middle of a trip if a faster route comes up as...

Day 14 and Final Day

Day 14: "Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving." - Terry Pratchett Let the train wreck continue...lol We got up and packed, as quiet as they have ever been, and we hit the road by 8am. We were slated to arrive at Niagara at 6p. And then 6p became 8p. And then 8p became 10p. And at which point I said forget it, we are headed home. Traffic continuously pushed our time back, and I was completely over paying tolls that are outrageously priced. And by the late afternoon, I think we all agreed that we would rather do Niagara right then try and fit it in, at night. Lots of lessons on this trip! We stopped at Albany, NY, and I feel that Albany really, and very accurately, summarized our trip. This was one of the weirdest, most random cities I have ever been in. There was just about every type of architecture in this city - and it felt like a forced mash-up smorgasbord of crazy. So yes, accurately describing our trip haha! (Albany, NY) ...

Day 9

Image
"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience." - Eleanor Roosevelt Today was a whirlwind. We woke up - all of us exhausted, I think, and walked to the beach. The kids said they didn't want to swim today, but then ran right to the water when they saw the waves. We were able to watch some boarders, which was really cool. Also, the beach is always cool in the morning. Beach #2: Delaware Seashore State Park:   We repacked the entire car so there was some space, and headed out to D.C. via capital buildings. (Dover, DE) (Annapolis, MD) Annapolis looked like a very cool, very expensive town. I saw a yacht docked at someone's summer house! We headed to the Smithsonian Museum of American History, walked in and saw this: (Amazing) We did a quick tour of the museum and headed back to the car before it got towed. Yes, I read the sign w...
